X-Team DH7FB & DF2ZC QRV from EA9 Ceuta. They are started operation on 2 M band today.

The line from N0UK EME chat: 15 Mar14:45 EF9LZ IM75 CQ 144.114 -EF9LZ- tx 1st . We are started to call themes, but few minutes later we saw another spot in the chat : 15 Mar 14:54EF9LZ IM75 hmmm….s7 noise bursts here… And it was the real problem: they could not hear no one, just sending CQ,CQ, CQ… I spent around 30 minutes, before understood, that much better to stop and wait for better conditions. Also I need to do some home job. 4 hours later I came back to the shack and had a look on MAP65’s screen. Yes!! Еhey are worked one station after another! Seems, conditions improved! I called and EF9LZ answered just after my first call. Easy QSO, new DXCC and new grid

More detailed statistic on VUSHF bands (50, 144, 432, 1296 MHz)Total QSO: 520. Including:EME: 351 QSO. (Initials: 2M – 138, 70 CM – 20),Tropo: 129 QSO,Meteor Scatter: 38 QSO.Surprisingly, but not one Aurora’s QSO in passed year. Although we had several strong openings. No interest? Have not been in the shack? Hard to explain even to yourself….
